JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.
1(19-1) For the Leader. A Psalm of David. (19-2) The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament showeth His handiwork;
2Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge.
2(19-3) Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night revealeth knowledge;
3Without speech or language, without a sound to be heard,
3(19-4) There is no speech, there are no words, neither is their voice heard.
4their voice has gone out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens He has pitched a tent for the sun.
4(19-5) Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath He set a tent for the sun,
5Like a bridegroom emerging from his chamber, like a champion rejoicing to run his course,
5(19-6) Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run his course.
6it rises at one end of the heavens and runs its circuit to the other; nothing is deprived of its warmth.
6(19-7) His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it; and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
7The Law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the LORD is trustworthy, making wise the simple.
7(19-8) The law of the LORD is perfect, restoring the soul; the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
8The precepts of the LORD are right, bringing joy to the heart; the commandments of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes.
8(19-9) The precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever; the judgments of the LORD are true, being altogether righteous.
9(19-10) The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever; the ordinances of the LORD are true, they are righteous altogether;
10They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb.
10(19-11) More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
11By them indeed Your servant is warned; in keeping them is great reward.
11(19-12) Moreover by them is Thy servant warned; in keeping of them there is great reward.
12Who can discern his own errors? Cleanse me from my hidden faults.
12(19-13) Who can discern his errors? Clear Thou me from hidden faults.
13Keep Your servant also from willful sins; may they not rule over me. Then I will be blameless and cleansed of great transgression.
13(19-14) Keep back Thy servant also from presumptuous sins, that they may not have dominion over me; then shall I be faultless, and I shall be clear from great transgression.
14May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in Your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.
14(19-15) Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable before Thee, O LORD, my Rock, and my Redeemer.
